Threads – Toddler Wrangling

July 11, 2014 24 Comments

Yup, I’m doing outfit posts too now, mostly so I can show off these rad pictures I just got! xox Babs

Well hi, welcome to my first ever outfit post. I have always loved fashion and have been thinking about starting outfit posts around here for a while. But, you know…all the excuses. 

When I got these great pictures back from the Blogger Headshot Workshop the first thing I thought was; how cool are Pete and Lisa from And A Day Photography for creating such fun images. The next was; how awesome is Jaclyn from Blog Society for thinking up and creating all these rad events, and then finally I thought; woot, here is my first outfit post. (I may or may not have also thought, holy shit, look at my grey streak) 

This is a pretty typical everyday outfit for me, it's bend, crouch, tug, run and climb proof. All of the necessities for not flashing your lady lumps when dealing with toddlers.

T-shirt Hubble + Duke, Pants Lululemon, Cardi is ancient but find similar at Jollychic, shoes are also ancient but these Converse are similar (and on my wishlist), tank dress (layered) Kmart, Gel Nailpolish is c/o Sensationail. 

p.s do you think Pete and Lisa (who just got engaged – congrats!!!) will photograph all of my outfit posts from now on?

    How was the workshop? Your photos are awesome (and I love that cardi!!). I wanted to go but couldn’t quite work out whether I could give a toss about my headshot or not. Now I think I should!!! x

    The workshop was so good! Yummy food, fun photographers and lots of cool people to meet. It was really casual with lots of really cheesy music.

    I have been hiding from the camera since the kids were born so I there are no pictures of me lately..at all. Plus I missed the vivid event so I promised myself I would go to the next one no matter what. I’m so glad I did. xox

    Thanks, it was so much fun – there was no hiding to be done. I just has to get out there and do it. Scary but fun!

    That is not a bad idea! We could hook up and photograph each other’s outfits every so often. And we could also get the kids involved!
